Bad News. After reading this thread, I checked my MTH engines and found that the zinc pest lives in my Rail king Pennsylvania Torpedo 4-6-2 engine. The tender is severely warped, to the point that two of the four mounting screws sheared off. My girl-friend (now wife) bought me this engine back in 1997 for my birthday. I contacted MTH several months ago and found out they had a shell replacement program for this defect. Unfortunately for me, they no longer had anymore replacement shells. This is a major bummer.
